what's in your purse what's in your purse

Instead of working last Friday morning I took everything out of my purse.  I should have taken a picture of the view inside before I took all this business out, but what’s done is done (though of course, it’s already back to looking like a trash bag…)  What I really want in my life is a Mary Poppins bag or a One Fine Day bag, where I can have much more in it than it looks.  As it is, my bags are compartmentalize.  I take my purse on everything personal, doctors appointments, girls nights, dates, etc.  I have a business bag with catalogs, notebooks and businessy stuff that goes to networking events and client meetings and I have a diaper bag that pretty much lives in the car.  I wish I could somehow make it all one, but then it would weigh 30 pounds and I’d break my bag.
